Skype 5.10 for Windows available for download. Skype 5.10 for Windows introduced the ability to pin your Favorite contacts to the top of the Contacts tab, as well as merged your Facebook and Skype contacts into a single list.
Improvements in Skype 5.10 for Windows:
- Select and pin your favorite contacts:
There are probably a handful of people who you talk to most frequently using Skype. To make it easier to talk with those people you care about most, we have introduced a new Favorite contacts feature, which lets you easily pin these people to the top of your Contacts list. Now, they are always available to you, without needing to search for them. - View one Contacts list with all your Facebook and Skype contacts:
The new version of Skype comes with an improved Contacts list design. We have merged your Skype and Facebook contacts into a single list, so they are all in one place. We have also changed how we display the Contacts list within the user interface. - Easier to Understand Premium subscription notices:
Simplified the Premium subscriptions communications to make them easier to understand. - Backwards-compatible video rendering:
Added a configuration file option to enable users to switch on a backwards-compatible video encoding mode (i.e., GDI, for those of you who may be more technically inclined). This will help solve video encoding issues for those Skype users who still have very old computers or graphic cards with drivers that may not properly support DirectX 9.
Note: Skype suggest only using this when you have heavy issues with video calling, such as only seeing a still picture or horizontal lines being displayed on screen instead of the video stream, or if our Customer Support team is unable to offer you another working solution.
